Abstract: A female urine device includes a shell and a resilient liner. The shell includes a bottom wall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a rear wall integrally connected to define an inner chamber. A forward opening is defined by forward ends of the walls. An upper rim is defined by upper ends of the walls. The resilient liner is disposed on the inner chamber. The liner extends forward past the forward opening of the shell to form a spout portion of the liner. At least one thumb rest is disposed on a sidewall of the shell and extends perpendicularly therefrom. The at least one thumb rest is sized to receive a thumb of a female and is operable as a fulcrum to enable the female to leverage the rim into sealing engagement with the female's genitalia when the female urine device is in use.

Abstract: A low friction top coat over a multilayer metal/ceramic bondcoat provides a conductive substrate, such as a rotary tool, with wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The top coat further provides low friction and anti-stickiness as well as high compressive stress. The high compressive stress provided by the top coat protects against degradation of the tool due to abrasion and torsional and cyclic fatigue. Substrate temperature is strictly controlled during the coating process to preserve the bulk properties of the substrate and the coating. The described coating process is particularly useful when applied to shape memory alloys.

Abstract: A low voltage power supply includes a plurality of output terminal pairs interconnected by electrical circuitry effective to permit individual adjustment of the voltages applied between each such pair for powering simultaneously a plurality of light sources at individually selected voltages. The light sources are associated with dental handpieces through umbilical tubings, an exemplary one of which includes a bundle of flexible, light-conducting fibers connected between a first coupling fixture holding a subminiature bulb and a second coupling structurally adapted for connection to a dental handpiece.

Abstract: A dental hand instrument comprises an elongated handle formed of a thermosetting plastic and a metal working tip inserted into an end of the handle. The handle may be a multi-part assembly with replaceable working tip end sections. The handle has a bore provided in the end to accommodate a shank end of the tip. The handle and the tip are subjected to heat treatment to partially melt a portion of the thermosetting plastic adjacent to the shank end to bind the shank in solid plastic-to-metal contact along the shank end. The shank end of the tip is provided with a non slip surface that is encompassed and embedded in the thermosetting plastic so that the tip will not turn during use.
